Although OSU is not WOSTEP it has a strong tradition of excellence and is preparing candidates for the AWCI CW21 exam with the blessing (financially and otherwise) of Rolex. I think it is also a good school. I would however disagree that they are all equal. Some of those schools are better than others. LWT has the best facility, equipment, and instruction probably because of its higher level of funding. They are all good but the best course of action is for you to get information from all of them and visit as many as you can, ask lots of questions and make your own decision. The decision may become obvious. Dan, I sent you an email but for all the readers I would say, yes there are the four asdfjkl; pointed out plus OSU.

I've been thinking about applying to the Nicholas G Hayek School. Does the Lititz Watch Technicum have better training or are they on par? Also, what kind of background/skill set are they looking for in their applicants? Thanks for the advice and great info. Great site! I’ve been thinking about applying to the Nicholas G Hayek School.
